Re: [HumJanenge] Re: Missing requests in the CIC

Dear Bimal

Anna Hazare has already apologised to the people of India for the
irresponsible statement that PM MMS was a Shikhandi made by his team
member Prashant Bhushan.
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/we-apologise-for-shikhandi-remark-team-anna/262948-37-64.html

OTH, Prashant Bhushan denies making that remark to the same channel
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/prashant-bhushan-denies-calling-pm-a-shikhandi/262571-37-64.html

So AT LEAST one of them is a liar.

[HumJanenge] Re: Missing requests in the CIC

Plead that
a) CIC is a single public authority.
b) There can be no "jurisdictions" for PIOs within a public authority.
c) That each and every PIO of a P/A is supposed to have access to all
a P/As records over a computer network anywhere in India and be able
to
provide information to RTI applicants.
d) That RTI-dushman Mr. Pankaj Shreyaskar should be sent back to
his home State.

[RTI INDIA] Re: SOCIAL AUDIT LOCAL TEAM -(SALT)

CIRCULATE

Dear friends,

Mumbai People talk about the pot holes and only complain that repairs of roads/pavement are not good. I have been doing the social audit ever since  the day these guidelines have been published. I have come to the conclusion that if  the road and pavement trench works are done as per the guidelines, the same will be both good in quality and sustainable too. It will also be value for the money spent.

If people really use properly the RTI and Section 4 inspection we all can contribute to  true spirit and intent of the RTI Act and its preamble and my experience shows that even administration participates as we will be forcing the system to work and if system is forced to work then even the non-cooperative or corrupt person has to follow and it will be very difficult for him/her to take recourse to malpractices.

Please note this does not pertain to tender works but work given at ward level and some at central level. A ward issues, on an  average, about 600 to 1000 work orders per year.

I have got the whole work redone many times in F/South, F/North wards and G/South Wards, which I could coordinate.

I generally don't put manuals on board but thought I should circulate this to bring about awareness and also provoke action as the road/pavement situation is deteriorating rapidly now.  Please spend some time to read fully the Guideline and after reading don't use this knowledge just for making  'indiscriminate and impractical' RTI applications, but rather use the guidelines for effective monitoring of the work.

If you or any person whom you know, wishes to participate in working on the Implementation of these Guidelines in their area/ward, I can assist in forming of a  Citizens Area Social Audit Local Team (SALT) and also guide the team onwards. Mahiti Adhikar Manch has started forming such groups in Mumbai and if you are interested please e-mail me at mahitiadhikarmanch@gmail.com. Please note this group formation is for Mumbai only.

For your information, recently some colleagues joined me in conducting the inspection of records maintained for trench repairs. This has convinced me of this urgent need which prompted this mail and sharing.

Re: [HumJanenge] Interesting exchange of correspondence between SG and CIC

Dear Girish

Thanks for placing these 2 letters before us.

1) SG comes across (at least to me) in his letter as a hysterical old
woman protesting that her modesty has been compromised. SM on the
other hand comes across as PROMPT, to the point, factual and most
importantly as MATURE.

2) We can see that CIC's official letterhead as his hotmail email ID -
so the other reply (ex-MP) may be deemed to be official.

3) Please consider if asking rhetorical questions is useful. Answers
may be given which would embarrass you / SG. For instance there are
many complaints by me (acting as watchdog over CIC) concerning SG
which were invariably forwarded to SG and he refrained from repeating
his corrupt actions thereafter.

[HumJanenge] Re: REMINDER Re: Clarification in case of Mr. Nitish Bharadwaj (ex-MP)

Dear Girish

I hope that you will at least freely admit the following

1) That your original message to this group concerning Nitish Bhardwaj
(ex-MP) was posted/circulated to this group - as it is.

2) That as Moderator of this group, I forwarded the substance of your
grievance very promptly to Mr. Mishra. Before doing so, I had taken
the precaution of verifying the details you provided and also a
PROBABLE reason for his action (which you seem to have missed out).

3) That I followed it up, and managed to get a reply from Mr. Mishra
addressing the "meat" of the problem.

4) That throughout my dialogue with Mr. Mishra I was extremely
polite / respectful and civilised.

5) I think we can safely assume that such incidents may not again come
to light IN THE NEAR FUTURE in CIC(SMS)'s registry.

6) As all my actions were done openly and cc'ed to this group, there
is no reason why other citizens / members could not have done the
same. I can truthfully say that I have got no special favours from
CIC(SM) - and in fact I have not spoken to him in last 2 years.

In conclusion I maintain that if every citizen is alert and exercises
his democratic rights properly (ie. by using right channels in a
decent manner) the system can and will respond.

When the system does not respond (and I will post examples of how I
tackle this) to decent approach then the pressure must be "ratcheted"
up. (PS: For instance I have slapped at least 2 senior public servants
publicly - without any comebacks. I have got a prominent Minister to
resign, I have got MLAs who crossed paths with me replaced and so on),
so if you still think I am stupid and naive - more power to your
elbow.

[HumJanenge] Interesting exchange of correspondence between SG and CIC

Dear Friends,

Attached is the correspondence exchanged between Mr. Mishra & Mr. Shailesh Gandhi reg. the case which Mr. Akashdeep has filed in DHC. I must hasten to add that these files were procured using RTI Act, 2005.

Mr. Mishra says that the nature of information sought hardly matters for the case to be taken to such an extent..An official of commission seemingly trying to place papers in file backdated, and strangely, Mr. Mishra doesn't find any wrong it!!! Besides, what was ordered was just an inquiry-if there was no malafide, the officials need not worry...But...

Mr. Mishra also claims that he has not come across any case in which directions of Mr. Gandhi have not been implemented in CIC...I have come across the cases in which directions of even CIC himself have not been implemented..Besides, as I have pointed to you all in the case CIC/SM/A/2011/001791, the orders of SG have not been implemented. This has been pointed to Mr. Mishra several times also, but he has failed to act on the same...

We live in a strange world....

Regards.

Girish Mittal
 


[HumJanenge] RE: REMINDER Re: Clarification in case of Mr. Nitish Bharadwaj (ex-MP)

Dear Sarbajit,

As you see Mr. Mishra seems to have replied from his hotmail account. I don't know if we can treat his response as official response!!!

Even if we consider as official response, if you believe what Mishraji is saying, you are either naive or stupid or both or are feigning naivete, stupidity or both. Consider the following:

(a) Mr. Mishra does not hears cases from files, he does it exclusively on his computer. So the opportunity of files getting mixed by DEOs are virtually non existent. Besides files of 2011 and 2012 do not get mixed. Even the cases of senior citizens of 2012 are heard when the cases of 2012 being hearing.
(b) Why did this so-called mix-up happen only to an ex-MP and not to ordinary citizen like Mr. Karira or Mr. Mittal? Ask Mr. Karira how his files were "misplaced" by CIC?
(c) It is not wrongly taken up before some others, it is wrongly taken over by many others. Mr. Mishra is still hearing 2011 cases and this case is of 2012, did it not ring alarm bells to him?
(d) I do not know about the MP/IAS connection, so I will not comment on the same...

Regards.

Dear Mr Roy, 
          I am sorry for the delayed reply. It was due to the fact 
that I was trying to find out how this appeal got ahead of some 
others. The Registry sends hearing notice largely on a first come 
first served basis except for the following occasional adjustments: 
                   a) on account of the availability of 
Video-conferencing facility, and                       b) hearing of 
multiple cases of the same appellant or the same public authority 
           In the case of Nitish Bhardwaj, however, his case file got 
mixed up in the bundle of cases relating to the Cabinet Secretariat 
and the hearing notice was sent by the DEO in-charge on the assumption 
that it was in the right serial order. It was wrongly fixed and was 
taken up ahead of some others. The Registry and the DEO have been 
pulled up for this lapse and warned not to make such a mistake in 
future. Wherever I decide to take up a case on priority on the 
accepted grounds, I give written instruction in the case file. In this 
case, I had given no such instruction. Thus, it was a clerical error, 
at the most. 
           The insinuation that the case was taken up presumably 
because the wife of the appellant is a Madhya Pradesh Cadre IAS 
officer is both unkind and mischievous. I hope this clarifies the 
position. 
           I am grateful to you for bringing this to my notice and

Respected Sir 

I refer to my appended request for clarification concerning the 
purported "out-of-turn" hearing which was given to Mr. Nitish 
Bharadwaj (ex-MP) in a recent appeal decided by you in Case 
CIC/SM/A/2012/000231 on 20.July.2012. 

As the sequence in which cases are taken up for disposal in the 
Commission has considerable public interest  especially considering 
the very long pendency in high profile Public Authorities you have 
retained to yourself, I again request you to kindly clarify if any 
"out of turn" favour was indeed given to the appellant in that matter 
and the reasons, if any.

Re: [HumJanenge] Re: Missing requests in the CIC

There is no systemic error in the CICs centralised receipts section

It is a complete breakdown and a hijacking of the system by a few

Dear Sandeep

Please read the CPIO's reply carefully.

They have not said that your 2 letters were not received in the CIC.

What the PIO of IC(BS)'s Registry says is the file is not with him
(presumably because the file has not been transferred to them from
CIC(SM)'s registry.

Th FA should stress that CIC is a single public authority and that the
nodal PIO should be penalised for not locating the information in
CIC(SM)'s registry. It also points to some systemic error in the CIC's
Centralised dak and registry systems.

Dear All,
I need an urgent help. The enclosed order of the commission was passed
in October 2011. On not getting any reply, I sent two letters (in
november 2011 and then in april 2012) by speed post to the commission
to do the needful.
I then filed form a in the CIC. I am surprised to know that they are
saying that my letters were not received.
Please suggest what to do.

[HumJanenge] RTI Regeneration group -- Recent Delhi High Court Orders

Dear Vikram

I hope you have read the DHC order carefully before riding off like
Don Quixote to tilt at windmills in the SC.

We all know that Mr. Shailesh Gandhi has crores and crores of rupees
and is agitating other people to fight his battles for him to get
those remarks against him expunged.

Considering the accurate poking he has got from Justice Sanghi, I do
hope that you also don't fall prey to Mr.Gandhi's money power or
accept the offer of free legal services / advocates he will arrange
for you in SC, as it is RTI activists are a very discredited lot
nowadays.

I can also say that it was only a single judge order - which ought to
be challenged in LPA in DHC if at all. As I repeatedly say, Mr
Shailesh Gandhi is one of the ring leaders of that bunch of h****is
known as NCPRI who are out to get RTI movement scuttled at the behest
of their foreign paymasters. I again beseech you not to fall into
their trap BY GETTING THIS JUDGMENT FINALLY CONFIRMED IN SC.

With best wishes

Sarbajit

[HumJanenge] Re: Clarification in case of Mr. Nitish Bharadwaj (ex-MP)

Dear Girish and other HJ List members

I hope that this clarification from respected CIC S.Mishra-ji suitably
clarifies that there was no "hanky panky" in Nitish Bharadwaj's
hearing schedule and the perceived priority was due to some Registry
error.

Dear Mr Roy,
I am sorry for the delayed reply. It was due to the fact
that I was trying to find out how this appeal got ahead of some
others. The Registry sends hearing notice largely on a first come
first served basis except for the following occasional adjustments:
a) on account of the availability of
Video-conferencing facility, and b) hearing of
multiple cases of the same appellant or the same public authority
In the case of Nitish Bhardwaj, however, his case file got
mixed up in the bundle of cases relating to the Cabinet Secretariat
and the hearing notice was sent by the DEO in-charge on the assumption
that it was in the right serial order. It was wrongly fixed and was
taken up ahead of some others. The Registry and the DEO have been
pulled up for this lapse and warned not to make such a mistake in
future. Wherever I decide to take up a case on priority on the
accepted grounds, I give written instruction in the case file. In this
case, I had given no such instruction. Thus, it was a clerical error,
at the most.
The insinuation that the case was taken up presumably
because the wife of the appellant is a Madhya Pradesh Cadre IAS
officer is both unkind and mischievous. I hope this clarifies the
position.
I am grateful to you for bringing this to my notice and
look forward to you for your continued watch over our working in the
CIC. Regards. Satyananda Mishra

Respected Sir

I refer to my appended request for clarification concerning the
purported "out-of-turn" hearing which was given to Mr. Nitish
Bharadwaj (ex-MP) in a recent appeal decided by you in Case
CIC/SM/A/2012/000231 on 20.July.2012.

As the sequence in which cases are taken up for disposal in the
Commission has considerable public interest especially considering
the very long pendency in high profile Public Authorities you have
retained to yourself, I again request you to kindly clarify if any
"out of turn" favour was indeed given to the appellant in that matter
and the reasons, if any.

yours faithfully

[HumJanenge] RECONSTRUCT MISSING FILE IF ORIGINAL FILE IS MISSED - PROVIDE INFO.

RTI officers now cannot deny information to an applicant on the pretext of unavailable or missing files. The Central Information Commission (CIC) has ordered the Inland Waterways Authority of India, Noida to reconstruct missing files and provide information to an RTI applicant within four weeks.
 
In an order issued last week, information commissioner Sushma Singh observed that it was unfortunate that the relevant file is not traceable and ordered the First Appellate Authority (FAA) to constitute an inquiry committee to fix responsibility on the defaulting officer. The FAA was directed to provide requisite documents to the appellant, B Meghani, within four weeks of receipt of this order.
Meghani had filed the appeal before the CIC against the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) on July 11 last year for not providing information to his RTI application dated January 22, 2011.
He had sought information pertaining to the written test conducted for recruitment of LDC at IWAI including copy of complaint lodged with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the paper leakage and other relevant papers related to internal investigation reports. CBI had closed the case after the inquiry.
The central public information officer (CPIO) and later FAA informed Meghani that no such record/complaint is available.
During the hearing on June 7 this year, Deepak Das, FAA submitted that since the relevant file was not traceable in the office, he was unable to provide requisite information to the appellant and opined that the information, which is not available, cannot be created and hence cannot be provided to applicant.
The appellant, on the other hand, produced a photocopy of the affidavit of assistant secretary, ICWAI, filed at the Allahabad high court mentioning the copies of documents submitted before the court. The RTI applicant had asked for these documents only.

[HumJanenge] GLORIFYING SUGGESTIONS

I suggest this amendment in law, "henceforth, opposition to corruption will be a crime and the punishment for this crime may even be treated 'sedition'. 

Govt. should also bring a bill to legalize corruption.

Madhu Koda, A. Raja, Suresh Kalmadi, Kani Mozi, Daya Nidhi and Kalanighi Maran and all others facing charges of corruption should be given medals after the confirmed of charges. The medal should be according to the size of corruption i.e. the person who is found to siphon off the biggest money from he govt. coffer should be given biggest award. Few suggested names, Padam Vibhushan in corruption and so on.

If some funds are required to meet the cost, corruption tax may be imposed on the citizens.

Another suggested, court cannot declare decision on the corruption charges, if found true, decision will have to be reserved during the life time of the corrupt. After that, no recovery can be effected from the legal heirs of the corrupt.

[HumJanenge] Re: FUNCTIONING OF ORISSA INFORMATION COMMISSION UNDER HIGH COURT SCANNER

Dear Pradip

I have quickly gone through the WP. Was this the Final version you
filed ?

Also I could not locate where you have set out section 26 of the RTI
Act which is the pivot point of your grievance. Nor had you annexed a
copy of RTI Act in the alternative.

I feel that given time this WP could have been better focused /
drafted to achieve very specific results instead of being drafted in
the form of a PIL by RTI activist. So here's wishing you best of luck.

FUNCTIONING OF ORISSA INFORMATION COMMISSION UNDER HIGH COURT SCANNER

 

On a Public Interest Writ Petition W. P. (C) No.10848/2012

moved by Sri Pradip Pradhan, leading RTI activist and Convener of Odisha Soochana Adhikar Abhijan, on 18.7.12, the Orissa High Court has been pleased to issue notices of show-cause to the Chief Secretary, Secretaries of I & PR Deptt., Planning & Coordination Deptt., Finance Deptt., Information Commission through its Secretary, Chief Information Commissioner, Information Commissioner Mr. Jagadanand, formerly Chief Information Commissioner Mr. D. N. Padhi and formerly Information Commissioner Prof. Radha Mohan.

 

The Division Bench comprising Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr. V. Gopala Gowda and Hon'ble Mr. Justice S. K. Mishra was moved by the Petitioner through his counsel Mr. Subha Bikash Panda to come down heavily on the very manner of functioning of the Orissa Information Commission, a quasi-judicial autonomous authority as well as the State Executives contrary to the mandates of Section-26 of the RTI, 2005. The Petitioner in his writ petition inter alia has alleged that the State Govt. has completely abdicated its power and function in favour of the Commission and the Commission has been indulging itself in activities in the name and style of Information, Education and Communication (IEC), beyond the scope and ambit of the statue. It has further been alleged that such kind of activities carried on by the Commission since its inception till date has resulted in gross misappropriation of public exchequer to the tune of more than rupees five crores over the years, which requires a thorough probe and recovery from the errant Commission and its Commissioners.

The rule issued by the Court has brought in a sigh of relief among the bona fide RTI activists of the State and the public at large and has given a jolt on the face of the Govt. before it goes for appointment of another Information Commissioner sans a transparent procedure in the matter of such appointment.

The petition has been posted for hearing of the parties after a month.

Re: [HumJanenge] Re: Another blunder of Anita Gupta

Dear Girish

I must presume that Anita Gupta has faithfully recorded your exact RTI
queries of 21.05.2012 in her Appellate order.

NOW you claim that there are portions (marked in RED COLOUR by you) to
your queries which she has left out from her order.

OTH, if these RED colour portions are figments of YOUR imagination
which you expect a PIO and/or FAA to magically divine from the deeply
fevered recesses of your mind, then even Lord Krisha (aka Mr. Nitish
Bharadwaj ex-MP) cannot help you.

Also, nowhere in her order has she recorded that you are highlighting
case number CIC/SM/A/001791/SG/17637which is in the Moneylife article.
Nowhere is Aakashdeep's case mentioned - did you SPECIFICALLY ask for
it ?

To settle this matter once and for all, we would appreciate that you
mail a copy of your actual RTI request of 21.May.2012 to this group.

Hindu religion doesn't exist. It is the vedanta also called Sanatan Dharma that is relevant. And such a religion which has no name of its own( Hindu is a word given by others) because it is open to all cannot have a non-secular agenda. For Vedanta is by its very nature secular(Remember what Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita,"Wherever you see extraordinary holiness, know that I AM THERE" which includes extraordinary holiness of all religions & saints & mystics of all religions). Hence, the idea of Hindu Rastra is a nonsensical idea in my opinion probably rational only in the opinion of fanatics.

You must see the West Bengal Chief Minister in the garb of a Muslim Lady pampering to the whims of the vote bank (read the Muslims). It seems that she carries the head scarve whenever she is in the company of Muslim Groups. She has even gifted the Muslim clergy with a monthly allowance of Rs.2500/- and Government accomodation for giving AAzan from the mosques. Can anybody beat this hypocracy?

HINDU RASHTRA: THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE PARTISAN POLITICS THAT IS DESTRYING INDIA.
Dr. BABU SUSEELAN
 
Having spent most of my life abroad, and viewing and analyzing India from a distance, I was confronted with the good, the bad and ugliness of Indian politics.
DECALARE INDIA AS A HINDU RASHTRA.  This is the only one cure for the plague of cynicism, Islamic terrorism, and appeasement of Muslims, internal disturbances created by subversive agents, anti Indian attitude of the media, political corruption, lack of economic progress, and crises created by regional, criminal politicians, and inefficiency and corruption in the bureaucracy. Our enemies have injected so many thought viruses in Indian political life.  The only cure for the illness and the only way out of the mess is to declare India as a Hindu Rashtra.
 
From Kashmir to Kerala, the government is mismanaging the economy, public funds are diverted to Muslims and Christians, and coercive religious conversion is encouraged and supported. Instead of moving the country forward, the central government controlled by the uneducated Italian catholic lady Antonio Maino and many state governments (Except Gujarat) work against the interests of the majority Hindus.
 
The Media, instead of unmasking the hypocrisy of corrupt, criminal politicians, subversive organizations, individuals who act as subversive agents who create and deepen the crises in India, endorse and support the patrician politics that divide the nation.  For years, our media contributed to the climate of corruption, subversive activities polarizing the nation, and helped to spread the contentious and dangerous messages of Muslims and anti national groups.
 
The Media supports "politics of destruction". The print and TV media also invite and promote corrupt, criminal politicians, subversive groups and anti national, anti Hindu groups on the news and talk show programs for the simple reason that it brings applause from our enemies.
 
HINDU RESHTRA: SLOGAN OR CHOICE?
 
Naming India as a Hindu Reshtra will explode the conventional wisdom. Hindus from Kashmir to Kerala have a role to play. If large enough members of Hindu community demand a Hindu Rashtra, India's criminal and corrupt politicians have to heed to their demands. The Hindus have to challenge criminal, anti India, anti Hindu politicians to do better and make them do better for Hindus and the Hindu Rashtra.
 
To be honest, the crises Hindus face is now so deep and transformation required is so fundamental that real change can sometime feel almost impossible. How do we keep Hindus move with the slogan "HINDU RASHTRA" into a reality? We need to force Hindus into real freedom.  Only free people can move away from cynicism into optimism.
When Theodor Herzl in late 1895 coined the term  Der Jeden Staat (Jewish State), he was ridiculed, insulted, and called him a delusional misfit. Instead of all negative publicity, Theodor Herzl was successful in creating a Zionist movement which resulted in the birth of a Jewish state in 1948. Herzl's slogans provided the settings at which Jewish politicians could work hard to establish Israel, and the only Jewish state in the world. Now Jews around the world supports the Jewish state. Zionism support Jews upholding their Jewish identity and opposes Jewish discrimination, exclusion, and persecution around the world.  
 
Jewish people have been forced to wander around the world for more than 2000 years. Without any Jewish state, Muslims and Christians, through a combination of anti Jewish attitudes and measures have been discriminating, and even killing Jewish people. Now, a total of 15 million Jewish people exist in the world. But they are a powerful force to be reckoned with. With 7.5 billion Islamic people with 71 Islamic nations could not wipe out tiny democratic, progressive peace loving and pluralist Israel. Israel is committed to Cultural identity, commitment for pluralistic values, and respect for freedom and positive outlook, economic progress and democracy.
These democratic values, freedom and progress are possible only with Hindus declaring India as a Hindu Rashtra. Naming India as a Hindu Rashtra may generate both positive and negative comments and images and expectations from friends and foes.
 
Our own hope has been dramatically renewed by recent conference organized by Hindu Janjagrathi at Goa. It seems Hindus are slowly waking up from the slumber by the miraculous work by Tapan Ghosh and Radheshyam Brahmachari in West Bengal, Hindu Aykavedi in Kerala, and Hindu Munnani in Tamilnadu and Hindu organizations in different parts of India is working for a Hindu Rashtra.  More important, these Hindu movements offer a campaign plan.
 
Intellectuals and prominent professional luminaries from different parts of the world have written and expatiated the abstract concept, the functional concept, strategies and action plan for a Hindu rastra. Tapan Ghosh and Brahmachari (Calcutta), Dr. Bala Aiyer (Houston) Bhagavat Goel (New Delhi) V. Sundaram (Chennai), Deivamuthu (Mumbai) Aryan Kstsris, and Arish Sahani (New York) Dr. Subramaniya Swami (New Delhi) Swami Jyothi (Bangalore) Dr. Togadia (New Delhi) Sarvarkar Vinayak (London) have written and advocated all Hindus to build around  a set of creative ideas, to get Hindus moving. Hindus can now say that Hindu Rashtra is not a slogan but a concrete reality. Whenever we feel stuck, paralyzed, intimidated, or overwhelmed, whenever we feel helpless and hopeless, we need to understand, that our situation is never as static as it may appear to be.  Hope always involves that breaking open of new possibilities from seemingly hopeless circumstances. We know too well the death and mayhem resulting from nefarious activities of the bogus secular, criminal, corrupt anti national, anti Hindu politicians. We know the destruction caused by atheist, phony secularists who relentlessly work against Hindus and for appeasing Muslims and our enemies. We have to include in our activities and in our deliberations ways to overcome the destruction caused by the anti national political parties. We need to plant seeds of change in every Hindu who are indoctrinated and brainwashed to act like zombies for our enemies.
 
Unlike Islam, Marxism, and Christianity Hindu Dharma is a closed dogma and we do not have any sect or way of worship or one Messiah, or one prophet. Hindus have different Panthas or ways of worship. We respect and approve the Vedic system, Buddhist system, Jainism, Sikhism, Vaishnava, Shaiva, Shakta, Ligayat, Arya Samaj, Brahma Samaj and these special ways reach the truth. Hindus respect and approve Bhakti Marga, Jnana Marga, and Karma Marga according to one's intellectual and physical inclination, capacity and nature. According to Dr. Radhakrishnan Hinduism is not a closed dogma or sect but it is a great commonwealth who believe in Dharma and truth who seek Vasudeva Kudambakham.
Hindus call our way of life as santhan Dharma. Hindu Dharma promotes freedom, democracy, pluralism, and respect nature and wholeness of all living and non- living entities. Our great Rishis have developed different thought system and means to achieve equanimity, patience, health, forgiveness, control of mind, purity of thought and action, peace, progress, development of the intellect, knowledge and transcendental achievement.
 
The concept of Rshtra is nothing new. It can be found in Rig Veda. From ancient days to modern times, Hindu Rashtra was in existence. Eminent personalities have again and again insisted that Bharat Bhumi is punyaBhumi and now the time has come that Hindus around the world must join together and declare Bharat as a HINDU RASHTRE.
Hindu Rashtra may polarize ant national, anti Hindu people. Social issues may be created by our enemies. It is likely that these issues will come before Hindus. These issues only add fuel to an already explosive climate created by our distracters.  Hindus must face it, confront it and resolve social issues that may be created by ant Hindu forces. Hindus have to work together for a change. Hindus have too many enemies who want to destroy us from within and without. Hindus should not be reluctant to take the first step to declare Bharat as a Hindu Rashtra. Does anyone believe that it is not a good thing?
